In reply to Ahsan Riaz. Ahsan, I personally don't find it very effective. Neither is a very strong preservative.

In reply to Ahsan Riaz. Ahsan, I'm a skincare blogger and educator, non a product formulator. You should ask this to a cosmetic chemist.

Hi,
can i use Phenoxyethanol 0.3% and Disodium EDTA .05% in shampoo’s and face washes to preserve my cosmetics product for shelf life of 3 years? Is there need to add any other preservative too?

In reply to Gio. Gio - small correction. You mixed probiotics with prebiotics. Prebiotics are indeed food which can only be digested by good bacteria. probiotic is alive microrganisms. And indeed none of them are preservatives!
